Selly Oak property market: common questions
Where is Selly Oak?
Selly Oak is about 4 miles south-west of central Birmingham, in West Midlands. Figures for Selly Oak cover listings within about 1 km of its centre (the dashed ring on the map), not an official boundary.
What is the average house price in Selly Oak?
The median asking price across the 65 homes for sale in Selly Oak is £315,000 (as of 4 October 2026). We quote the median (the middle listing) rather than a mean, because a handful of very expensive homes would pull a mean upwards. Half of listings ask between £235,000 and £429,000. That is 31% above Birmingham. Homes that actually sold in Selly Oak went for a median £280,000 (Land Registry, 12 months to January 2026).
Are house prices in Selly Oak rising or falling?
Rising. Based on HM Land Registry completed sales, the median sold price in Selly Oak is up 56% over the last 10 years and up 8% over the last 12 months (12 months to January 2026). These medians compare the homes that happened to sell in each window, so they mix price movement with changes in what sold.
Is Selly Oak cheaper than Birmingham?
No: asking prices in Selly Oak are typically higher than across Birmingham. The median asking price in Selly Oak is £315,000 against £240k across Birmingham: 31% above Birmingham.

How much do flats and houses cost in Selly Oak?
The median asking price for a flat in Selly Oak is £195,000. Houses are quoted by type rather than as one figure, because the mix moves the number more than the market does: the largest group on the market is semi-detached houses, at a median £310,000 across 20 listings. The Prices by property type chart on this page covers every type we track.

How these numbers are made
- Asking figures: Current listings we track across estate agents and portals (65 in Selly Oak), refreshed daily, as of 4 October 2026. We quote medians, never means, and suppress anything based on fewer than 5 listings. Figures for Selly Oak cover listings within about 1 km of its centre (the dashed ring on the map), not an official boundary.
- Off market and time listed: Off-market counts include only listings confirmed off the market after a short grace period; "typical time listed" is time advertised, not time to sell. We have tracked Selly Oak since May 2026.
- Birmingham comparisons: The same daily snapshot taken across the whole of Birmingham, so both sides of every comparison share one basis. Where a comparison spans all property types, some of the gap reflects what is for sale here.
- Sold figures: HM Land Registry price paid data. Sold prices and sales counts cover the 12 months to January 2026; sold price per square foot covers the 12 months to July 2026, with floor areas from EPC certificates (the two run on different pipelines, and the latest months are left out while sales are still being registered). England and Wales; new-builds and non-standard transactions excluded.
